loub31 said: By the way, why Gilgamesh look too young on his face in FSN ? He used a potion of temporary youth from his treasury.Now the Gilgamesh in the cover of Fate/zero LN isnt that different from the Gilgamesh of FSN VN.So probably it was Deen's design been different from Ufotable's.Even Saber looks more mature in FZ. |

Ah .. ok Yes .. maybe it's because FST need a shounen design unlike FZ is seinen anime |

I liked that they did a little follow-up on Lancelots motivations, which the last episode was missing. All in all i guess i give it a 8/10. It wasn't perfect, but i enjoyed the journey and it beat Fate/Stay Night by far. Now that i have more background knowledge i need to rewatch Stay Night though, has been years since i watched it anyways. :P |

Poor Rin i thought her mother was death but she turned out insane must be hard on Rin growing up with a mother like that. Still why wasn't her mother death or was that just a illusion of some sort? And Emiya being like that was a bit weird as well all his previous actions where all pretty much without emotion that why did he get so emotional here. He didn't even show emotion when he killed of his family in that wish. |

Rin was lucky growing alone or at least with Kirei as her guardian.If she was with her parents she would be a real bitch in FSN. It wasnt an illusion.She suffered brain damage due to lack of oxygen when Kariya was strangling her. You mean why he was desperate to save someone in the fire?Or why he gave up being a "hero of justice" to live with Shirou? You probably didnt understand his character if you question both scenes. He wanted to save people.Thinking that the Fire was his fault he was searching the ruins for survivors.Of course he would be emotional there. Later he never reunited with Ilya but he finally found people he could be together without being afraid that he will lose them because of his "justice". |

As for Rin being lucky being taken care of by Kirei? I think it was plenty hinted in STay Night that Kirei went to great lenghts to annoy RIn in passive-aggresive ways (like forcing her to wear schoolgirl outfits), he just was never too overt about it since he did need her to keep an amount of trust in order to use her in the war. Also, he sold a lot of Rin's posessions or outright took them out of her hands (since Rin was too engulfed on just magic training to notice) so one could say he stole her money during that interim 10 years. Although then again, with both Tokiomi and Aoi (eventually) gone Rin managed to sort of be alllowed to develop a human onscience rather than just be a complete magus machine like her dad. |

As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

Ufotable's response to a question asked at today's panel at Anime Expo: "Kiritsugu killing Natalia on Mother's Day, killing Ilya on Father's Day, and Rider's death happening on Alexander the Great's actual historic date of death was entirely coincidence. We were as surprised as you were to find out about it." I is disappoint... And I thought Ufotable were masterminds... I'm guessing Kirei reciting Psalms 23 on episode 23 was a coincidence too... |

I'm glad the series ended with Kiritsugu "passing the torch" to Shirou, as well as having Shirou narrate the scene where he was saved. Some really nice touches and I love how this episode tied in so much to Fate/stay night. All the major players from Fate/stay were expanded on as well, so that was interesting. But, man, Kirei really fucked over Rin's life. Killed her dad, influenced Kariya to choke her mother until it apparently damaged brain cells and put her in a wheel chair (judging by Fate/stay she won't live long, either), and is pretty much raising her to be a possible sacrifice in another Holy Grail war (if I remember correctly anyway). Still, I've always thought he cares for her in his own twisted way, and I felt that during the scene where he gave her the Azoth dagger as well. As far as Kariya's fate. Man, I don't really have anything to say. The guys efforts were just....futile and probably only served to put Sakura in even despair as it undoubtedly fueled some of her actions in HF. Personally, I'd like if Kariya had a bit more focus in the Blu-rays as I found him a pretty compelling character in his brief appearances. I'll be reading the LN, so hopefully it'll give me more in sight into him. Waver survived, which was not what I was expecting. But, then again I think this was written as a sort of coming of age story for him in that he's matured a bit throughout the series. His relationship with Rider was treated as one of the few positives throughout the series, which made it all the more memorable. As far as Saber, I'm glad that they included at least a bit of the conversation between her and Lancelot before his death. One of my favorite things is how they cut to her briefly during the scene where Shirou took over Kerry's ideal, foreshadowing their eventual team up. Her "I should have never been King!" was powerful in and of itself, but I'd like to see it given more context for added effect. Ultimately, I found Kiritsugu and Kirei to be the most fascinating characters of this series. It's no surprise as I usually enjoy a good fucked up character if portrayed right, and these two were very interesting to watch. Kiritsugu being faced with the extremes of his actions was powerful, but what really got me is the scene with Kirei watching him as he's digging around trying to save people. I'm not exactly sure what Kirei was thinking there, but he looked like he had utter contempt and disgust for him. Which explains his words to shirou in HF regarding Kerry. To bring my long ass comment to a close. I loved this series, and I feel I could love it even more when the Blu-rays come out just like with the first half. This series went places a lot of anime, from what I've seen, is afraid of and did a good job of analyzing the concept of an "ideal" and how it can shape a way of life. Having the characters take it to the extreme made form some pretty interesting moral questions. Add to this great music, animation, usually good pacing, and voice work and you have a winner. Without a doubt one of my favorite series, regardless of the faults. Will be reading the novels soon. And, it feels great to have a genuinely good Fate/ adaptation. |

This show was amazing...I'll give it 9/10 for now... But really I would so like it if they made Fate/stay night again with a more serious tone like the did with Fate/Zero....But they can leave the music of Stay night cause it was brilliant ... The only thing I missed in this show was the OST of Kenji Kawai that made Fate/stay night so much more special...Seriously without it, it would be a much worse series.... |

I found two scenes with Kiritsugu and Shirou were quite touching and are easily the best part of the final episode, mostly thanks to the soundtracks. And others scenes were just simply hilarious, pretty fun watch overall. |

I think all three routes had extremely satisfying endings. If I had to choose I'd go for the True End of UBW, though, something about that scene in the class room really agree with me. Fate's ending was arguably the most "beautiful" though. |

If the Fate route was the best ending/story FSN had to offer then it wouldnt have made me a Typemoon fanboy.UBW and HF true end(and as a whole)are way better IMO. Maybe I dontr like Fate that much because I was forced to read all the story again.Although it was better it was still the same thing. |

He also outlives all of them. Not bad for a second rated magus without plot armor, right? |

I guess Kariya had a vision of his dream (saving Sakura) due to some kind of hypnotic spell Sakura cast and then dies a miserable death. I don't think this was the best last episode, the 2 episodes prior to this one feel superior, but it still ends on a good note. One thing I still don't understand though... What is the connection of these events with the last scene with Kiritsugu's daughter? Did she dream? Did she predict what happened? Did she become the Grail when Saber destroyed Isrivel's version of it (thus allowing Kirei's wish to happen)? Fate/Zero ends on a high note, the most visually stunning TV series I've seen for sure, and one with a plot and dialogue worthy of "exemplary" status. |

Correction, he dreamt he saved Sakura. Rin was tending to her now crippled mother. Sakura didn't do anything, he was already dying and in his dying moments he just went completely crazy and kept hallucinating that he had won. And Sakura's dismisive words are the results of the one year brainwashing Matou Zouken and Matou Byakuya kept doing on her. And about Ilya, yes, she's a homonculus just like her mother and as such she's the new vessel. Homonculi are not really explained very well in Fate/Zero but they are actually fake humans, more akin to Nature Spirits and part of the Einzbern's specialty of magic has to do with transferring their will to other things, thus yeah, the Vessels can receive the will of the previous one. They actually have the personality and memories of the original Vessel who created the Grail imprinted inside of them. |

All Homunculi are somehow conected to Justizia Lizleihi von Einzbern the first Homunculus to be used for the first War.That's why they were able to "talk".Ilya and Iri both carry parts of her memories and personality, allowing them to access both when necessary. |

She didnt cast anything.Kariya just had an hallucination just before his death.His death and Zouken's brainwashing made Sakura lose hope for another 10 years. All Homunculi are somehow conected to Justizia Lizleihi von Einzbern the first Homunculus to be used for the first War.That's why they were able to "talk"Ilya and Iri both carry parts of her memories and personality, allowing them to access both when necessary. Thanks for the information, I gues smy memory is not very fresh from the first episodes. Anyway, I will eventually re-watch the whole thing |

(typed from cellphone, also no malice is meant in any of these questions im asking. Im just expressing instant thoughts and ill Shift through the thread too) Wow. Shit got real heavy towards the end. Tough ending, not bittersweet like Gungrave, but very depressing. I felt last two episodes should actually have been 4 episodes. ill watch the last two again but here are some questions: · emiya didnt actually kill his wife, that was just the grail i assume. ·is it the same archer and lancer in the SN anime? Btw, archer seems the toughest servant, stronger thsn saber even. · speaking of which i do want to see the SN anime, but appears advise here is to not dare touching it with a 10 foot pole. A pity as im not really in to Visual Novels because of timr (just the way not everyone that likes Harry Potter films would read the books). · Lancelot/Berserker was upset that Saber didnt get angry??????? I didnt get Sabers grief here either. · any vital/ key things frim the ending that Were omitted in the epilogue? (this really was an epilogue, last episode was the last)). · kiriya, wow, most tragic character in a while. So sad. · basically the bad Guy wins? Kirei wins the war? But what an epic story. I liked the debate and ruthless characters. My worry is when i watch good anime like this is that my next choice wont live up to it.hope Steins gate and others on my plan-to-watch list measure up. |

Yeah even we LN readers wished for that superseiyan said: · emiya didnt actually kill his wife, that was just the grail i assume. The same goes for his daughter.None of them was real. superseiyan said: ·is it the same archer and lancer in the SN anime? Btw, archer seems the toughest servant, stronger thsn saber even. Yes and no.Gilgamesh appears in FSN but the Lancer of FSN is a different one(which is good).Saber isnt the strongest in both wars even if we exclude Gilgamesh.But yeah when Gilgamesh is serious he IS the strongest . superseiyan said: · speaking of which i do want to see the SN anime, but appears advise here is to not dare touching it with a 10 foot pole. A pity as im not really in to Visual Novels because of timr (just the way not everyone that likes Harry Potter films would read the books). Well you could read it slowly.There isnt a rule that says you have to finish it in 2 days or so...FSN was my first VN and I was hooked. superseiyan said: · Lancelot/Berserker was upset that Saber didnt get angry??????? I didnt get Sabers grief here either. As a knight yeah he wanted Arturia to punish him.The LN does a good job to explain everything about Arturia,Lancelot and Guinevere.The lack of their backstory was what upset some LN fans in ep 24.Saber believes it's her fault that her subjects, knights were lost and her kingdom was destroyed.While those who served her believed she was a great king she doesnt feel the same.She wishes to change the past when she pulled Caliburn and became the King. superseiyan said: · any vital/ key things frim the ending that Were omitted in the epilogue? (this really was an epilogue, last episode was the last)). No not really.Except from Gilgamesh's dialogue with the Angra Maiyu when the mud fall on him.It will probably be in the BD.Also Kiritsugu arranged as an eventuality the physical collapse of the Great Grail System before the originally estimated date of the 5th War -- utilizing stocked dynamite and the manipulation of leylines to ensure a severe localized earthquake in the targeted area within 30 to 40 years of the 4th War. He didnt know that the war would start in 10 years. superseiyan said: · kiriya, wow, most tragic character in a while. So sad. True.At least he had that dream superseiyan said: · basically the bad Guy wins? Kirei wins the war? Yup it was decided before FZ was written. |

As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

NNick said: In the end Kiritsugu messed up thinking destroying the Physical Grail would make everything peachy. Instead it caused a wildfire that destroyed half of Fuyuki.In The End, Basically Kiri Saves The World From Himself Right? Cause That's How I Now Think Of It. The anime forgot to add a detail that happens later on. Kiritsugu formulates a plan to completely destroy the Grail System by setting up explosives in the magic leylines that powered it (remember, the reason the Grail can spawn in 4 specific points of Fuyuki is because of said Leylines). The explosives were set to blow up and create a tremor at a specific time which would destroy the Grail system and thus end the wars. Too bad for Kiri the 5th war started before his plans was set in motion. |
